Gray (grey?) can be beautiful...............
No I'm not talking about my hair although I am getting grayer every day and I don't mind it so far. What I'm talking about is this fabric. It is a sateen weave fabric so it has a sheen. It is probably close to 20 years old and I also have it in deep rosy red and I think I sold my green piece. This is another case of photographs not doing it justice because it is beautiful with the soft sheen. This is one of the many things I had to move off my cutting table today. An 89 year old quilting friend is coming over this morning to have me cut her setting triangles for her.
I didn't go out until it was starting to get dark to take pictures of my hydrangeas. I can see I need to tie up some of the branches on this one in front of my house.
I dug a little side shoot off about 4 years ago and planted it in this back garden. It has finally taken off and has flowers this year, but much smaller flowers than the one in front. There are 4 different coral bells (Huchera) and 2 different seedum, 2 different hardy geranium and 2 different hostas, and coneflowers in this picture. There are also a few weeds next to the house. It has taken awhile to figure out what will thrive in this little garden outside my back picture window.
